Presentation

0:02 → 1:47(1m 45s)

Speaker 2 explained a recent revaluation that reflected multiple years of market growth consolidated into one reassessment, saying this consolidation produces 'sticker shock' because inflation and construction-cost increases were applied at once. He described the office's method of breaking values into land and buildings and using national construction cost guides to establish replacement cost and depreciation.
